and michigan does do that. a lot of states, especially louisiana, i believe, is a state that sends the most -- the highest percentage of its state prisoners to county jails. there are a few problems with that. it's probably cheaper, as your tweeter says, however county jails are just not meant to house long-term state prisoners. they may be closer to families, which is good, but they do not have the mental and physical health programs enemy health treatment that prisoners need. it may be cheaper but my bet is they're probably not as well run, and it would be interesting to know what the recidivism rates are for people who leave those county facilities. so it is a way to keep costs down perhaps in the short term, but in the long term, i would bet it's not. >> host: up to new york where the average cost per inmate for taxpayers in that state, 60,000. john, democrat caller go ahead. >> caller: how are you doing? well, if there's one thing that i just can't stand, it's hip pockcracy and hypocrites and there's nothi
